Hi, Everybody:
This Sunday, September 8, is the 16th Sunday after Pentecost, Scrip Sunday, and RALLY DAY! We’ll have the Installation of Christian Educators. the Presentation of Bibles, and a Blessing of Backpacks and Briefcases, so don’t forget to bring yours! (the backpacks and briefcases. But if you have a bible or Christian Educator lying about I suppose you can bring them, too.) Sunday School is back after church, but briefly, so all can partake in the Rally Day Celebration after church for which Hospitality is providing all kinds of food including the long-awaited nachos (it’s been a whole week delay – almost unbearable!). They are also asking for volunteers to help set up tables and chairs and to help tear them down for Sunday. They are hoping for the set-up to start at about 8:30 am. You can reach out to Terri or Randy for details. Bell Choir Rehearsal is back at its usual 12:30 pm slot. Talk to Dot if you’re interested in joining.
Whew! With all that going on, the monthly Church Council Meeting has been postponed until next Sunday (a little more bearable than the nacho delay), September 15, at noon. All are invited to attend. Bring a good book to read.
Our Tuesday Bible Study will be starting up again on September 17. The Bible Study meets weekly on Tuesdays at 10 am in the Activity Room. All are invited. It’s a fun group of people who like to discuss and laugh while learning. (ah, I miss those days in the office, hearing the laughter, and wondering just what’s so funny about the Bible)
Don’t forget about the Prayer Chain change (chaaain… Anyone else hearing Aretha Franklin?). Moving forward, please send all prayer requests to htlcprayerchain@gmail.com. If you are interested in getting updates and have not received prayer updates from the new email address, please send Briana the email you would like included on the distribution list. If anyone would like to partner on the Prayer Chain now that Donna has stepped down, please let Briana know.
-Keith, your friendly Parish Life Coordinator.
